Following a workplace accident — or months or even years of job-related pain that you can no longer endure — you deserve assurance that you won’t be left alone to deal with the medical and financial consequences.
Workers’ compensation exists to provide financial help to people who are prevented from working because of job-related injuries. In some cases, it is also possible to file third-party negligence claims against contractors, subcontractors or equipment manufacturers whose negligence contributed to an injury. Our firm is one of relatively few in Chicagoland that both help people with Illinois workers’ compensation claims and pursue third-party claims when negligence played a part in a client’s injury.
One of the biggest reasons people find workers’ compensation claims so overwhelming is the sheer amount of paperwork involved. It can be difficult to keep track of medical bills and evaluations while trying to focus on rehabilitation and recovery. With our workmans comp law firm, you will have a legal team whose priority is managing your claim so you can attend to your health and well-being.
Enacted into law to offer financial relief for employees that suffer work-related injuries, the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act requires workers that are injured on the job to file a claim with the Illinois Workers’ Compensation commission (IWCC). The workers’ compensation system created in Illinois does not require a worker to prove an employer caused a work-related injury. Instead, you have three years from the date of a workplace injury to file a claim with the IWCC.
That’s where we come in.
Regardless of the nature or size of your workers’ compensation claim, we’re here for you every step of the way. Our goal is always to ensure that you receive the best medical care available and the best possible settlement or award.
Workers’ compensation in Illinois is a no-fault system, meaning you have every reason to seek legal help to obtain compensation for your injuries. If you are dissatisfied with the status of your claim, you have the right to change lawyers.
